Facebook

So I am one of the millions of (cannot believe it) grown adults that joined My Space years ago. Regardless of my disdain for such things, it seemed like a good way to keep in touch with my friends. A few months ago, a friend of mine convinced me to join Facebook. My skepticism that it was better than My Space was overwhelming. I had realized shortly after joining My Space that it was not nearly as innocent a venture as I anticipated. After the third proposition from some nut job interested in things I would never actually do to him, I concluded that My Space was not something in which I really wanted to be involved. So you can understand that another "networking" site was not high on my priority list. It took a few weeks, but Laura finally had me convinced that I should try Facebook. I have rarely enjoyed being online for an extended period of time unless there was a movie or downloading music involved. I have become a Facebook addict! I love it! I have rekindled a ton of friendships that I had no hope for recovering. I have found old friends, new friends, co-workers, and family members. The beauty of this site is that its format does not lend itself to perversion or sickness. There are so many family sites and one of my friend's friend posted a note that her husband will acyually "let her be on Facebook:)." I love it! I know I said that, but I do! It's not as easy to search for people as other sites, but they kind of search for you, too. My friends "notes" inspired me to do a blog. I even downloaded it on my Crackberry so I can check it all day long. Sad? Maybe. Satisfying? For sure! How else would I have found my college roommate, friends that have moved away, and friends from whom I moved away? FOR FREE!
